At the bitting of tbe peace commission the American commissioners officially and definitely rejected the idea of accepting sovereignty over Cuba for the United States. The Spanish commissioners thereupon remarked that Spain, having abandoned such sovereignty uuder pressure from the United States.and the United States having denied that sovereigntj heuce-fort- h belongs to them, Cuba is de facto in a state of anarchy, as an intermission of sovercignt3 cannot be in any other light. The American commissioners that, without accepting sover. eignty, the United States considered themselves deputed and hound to main-tai- n security for all the inhabitants; that they would not fail to introduce ana uphold order, and, in bhort, they would do all that was necessary to the island in a state of normal ore pet ization, to be transformed at the earliest moment into a legal regularity, satisfactory for the security of all. Upon this the Spanish commissioners. promptly replied that by the fact of the declaration just made them out of the United States undertaking to restore legality, order and security, the United States were invested with veritable sovereignty and consequently could not refuse to accept the consequences of such sovereignty, seeing that they admitedly could not tolerate the relapse into anarchy of an island placed under their supervision and direction. Notwithstanding these striking objections, the American commissioners persisted in their refusal and officially declared that the United States cannot be considered invested with sovereignty and that they (the commissioners) could not deviate from this definite declaration. following: San Juan, Porto Rico, Oet.
